The victim – 67-year-old Ray Diaz – told CBS2's Jenna DeAngelis he was coming home from the store when he got into the elevator with the suspect.
"I don't really remember, it was so fast. He hit me in the face so many times," he said. "I have a messed up arm, I couldn't fight back."
Marrero was arrested Tuesday and charged with assault.
